It's come to quite something when Kermit makes more sense than Potus. Kermit's been imbued with more humanity than an actual flesh and blood person.

Right? Jim Henson would absolutely love the message Kermit spread here, and would be incensed enough to fire back at the twits who so gleefully try to make that message out to be something terrible.

I am sure the white nationalist males are taking cheerleader trophy inventory this coming week. Tough call on that one! Sexism is right up their ally. Cadets must have been thinking “this is West Point not a MAGA rally.”

It's incomprehensible how many of them actually support that nazi shit stain.

Glenn Reynolds's avatar

True. Shades of 1861 is just what some of the small group of more demented haters and fascist inclined in MAGA would love to see. That is a small slice of the White Hood crowd.

Right? I wonder how many of those cadets were secretly wondering if they'd be shipped off to Greenland or Canada following their graduation.

He shouldn’t be allowed to walk on West Points hallowed grounds with those bone spurs. I find it an insult to my cousins who graduated and died in Vietnam while Trump was hanging out at clubs in Manhattan with Jeffery Epstein. There are photos.

He walked?

I thought he would have ridden in a stealth golf cart no one could see.

From the singer’s lips to God’s ears! I hope I soon have the chance to piss on (t)Rump’s grave! Please, God, please!

Beautiful lullaby bringing on sweet dreams.

So, it wasn't just a matter of:

"Aw, c'mon, Dad, lemme try those Vietnam girls! I'll bet they're really hawt and they'd love me! :D"

"NO. Ever since you were born, you've been an 'unofficial' asset to this company. I'm not letting you get killed off for something stupid like this war."

So, the world still watches. The emperor is butt naked, and thank God we still have Kermit the Frog. It's funny but every single time I see Kermit the Frog, I think of you God. Oddly hilarious don't you think?

No question: If I were graduating from college today, I'd definitely choose Kermit the Frog as my commencement speaker. I feel sorry for the West Point Class of 2025, though I'll bet there were some interesting conversations at the graduation parties that followed!

They’re in charge and still whining. Grievance is their nourishment and it will never be enough.

Thank you for taking one for the team and watching that crap so we don’t have to!

From the sound and look of the graduates, the one at the U of M were totally engaged in Kermit's speech. The cadets - not so much.

Jan Frederick's avatar

I'm sure Chump realized that he was talking to "suckers and losers" so what he spoke was his version of a "patriotic word salad". I guess the sexism was directed at the female graduates. The Christian Nationalists don't want women in the military anyway, and he wanted to give them another route in life - trophy wife. Thank you, God! Amen! Awomen! Ramen!

I’m surprised Hegseth hasn’t purged all the women from the academies by now.

Nancy's avatar

That might've been the last graduating class to have them in there. :-/

Thank You GOD!

You said I will make it into Heaven- I believe one of our sweet dogs will hold the doggie door by the Pearly Gates open so I can crawl thru…

Donnie’s valet (Walt Nauta?) must have dressed him in the dark, coz who pairs a red hat with a magenta tie? Ouch! 😵‍💫 Two more observations: Donnie neglected to remove his cover during the National Anthem (bad hair day?), plus he skipped the tradition of shaking hands with the cadets after giving the address. He never misses a chance to insult our country and our military.

The green puppet gave a much better speech than the orange puppet.

Ken Davies's avatar

Trump must have Alzheimer’s to have the nerve to give a speech at West Point.

Nancy's avatar

Yeah, well, sigh... X-P According to the "will" of like, I dunno, 29% of the electorate (vs. the 27.5% for Harris), the Buffoon-in-Chief is, ostensibly, their ultimate superior officer... X-P

It's one of the jobs of the President to do that he apparently remembered, or someone remembered for him ("It's okay, sir; your tee-off time isn't for another hour, you have time to do this.")...

Glenn Reynolds's avatar

The irony of Trump in walking distance from the West Point Cadet Honor Code monument (“A cadet shall not lie …nor tolerate those that do) is some serious compare and contrast.

It's a miracle! Amen, Awomen, Aramen!

I am a parent of a Long Grey Line graduate; it was disgraceful to the highest degree - I am grateful I didn’t have to witness/participate in this, but of course I would for my person. I don’t understand the military industrial complex and had been anti war, then of course, life gave me a Warrior with a capital “W”. The commitment, integrity, resolve and unity of the Cadets is something to behold, and this should be their culminating honor. This clown, disrespectfully wearing that hat, couldn’t sully them in any way, but certainly showed in vivid fashion how unmatched to their service, sacrifice and leadership he is. Frightening to think he will be the person to decide to send them into conflict(s).

He never met a solemn or important moment that he could meet with grace, maturity, thoughtfulness and encouragement- it seems he is the antithesis of all those qualities. And then, LEFT 🤯, without shaking theirs hands?!?!

WTF, WhyTF - too busy??? Graceless, incompetent, narcissistic- maybe triggered by the fact they all VOLUNTEERED, when he was unwilling/incapable.

Stand tall and proud USMA Class of 2025 - you deserved better, and you are appreciated! GO ARMY, BEAT NAVY!

Show a little understanding, Kathleen - President trump HAD to leave early - a golf match was waiting. Gotta get your priorities right!

(And congratulations to you and your son. Hope he has a long and safe career.)
